Manchester United could be open to James Garner sale to Leeds United
Manchester United may reportedly consider selling midfielder James Garner to Leeds United in the summer.
Despite their rivalry, The Daily Mail understands that the Manchester outfit will not mind if he seals a permanent move to Elland Road.
Garner is understood to be keen on a move as he is eyeing regular first-team football next season to progress his career.
Snap him up
The 21-year-old has been exceptional in the Championship this season and appears ready for a move to a Premier League club.
Of course, Leeds will need to stay in the division for Garner to consider moving in the summer.
Given the season he’s been having, it will not come as a surprise if more than one club is looking to sign him permanently.
The English midfielder can play as a holding midfielder as well as in a box-to-box role – making him an ideal fit for the Whites.
As quoted by The Athletic earlier this month, Forest boss Steve Cooper hailed Garner’s “excellent” progression as a young player and it would be great to see his development continue at Elland Road.
He’s got an eye for the pass and is not afraid to get stuck in and win back possession for his team.
Garner wears his heart on his sleeve each time he steps onto the field of play and he could be one of those midfielders available for a bargain in a few months’ time.
In other Leeds United news, the Whites are leading the race to complete a major signing and have already opened talks to seal a £25m deal.
